How does microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, exfoliating treatment that removes the dead outer layer of skin to reveal new and healthy skin cells. Microdermabrasion works by directing a stream of tiny crystals over the skins surface. This technique uses both pressure and suction to remove damaged skin cells resulting in a polished, revitalized complexion.
